parse error

[John Hanley]

I just received a "parse error at end of input" when compiling my code, but
am unsure why. It lists the line as the very last line of my .c file "}"My
code compiled fine yesterday, and I only made some minor adjustments today.

I am using the DJGPP compiler.

Is this parse error indicative of anything particular?

Ideas?

Thanks again!

Sure, give us something to look at (we can't read minds) or start "cutting
out" large chunks of the file with #if / #endif until the error goes away.
Then move back out until you find the problem. Of course you need to be
smart about placement of the if/endif directives.

Some times it happends that one may add a { and not close it} like that

This may indicate that you began more blocks with { than you
closed with }.

I found the problem. It makes sense that it was a parse error because it
was one "}" short. However, it was somewhere in the middle of my code, not
at the end. The error message really threw me off. But that's ok. At
least I found the problem.

Thanks for the help!

It is usually a missing } or ; that causes this. The compiler will line up
the braces incorrectly because one is missing but it will not realize the
problem until it gets to the end of the translation unit. It is sort of
like doing up the buttons on a shirt. If you miss a button hole you don't
realize it until you get to the bottom and find the last button does not
line up with the last button hole.
